About The Project
The Retro Mobile Gaming Project (RMGP) contains a collection of mobile games from 1975 to 2008.
Our Mission
To preserve the history of mobile gaming and provide researchers, developers, and enthusiasts with a comprehensive resource for understanding the evolution of mobile games from 1975 to 2008.
The Project
The Retro Mobile Gaming Project (RMGP) allows users to search games by multiple search criteria including title, year developed, type of game, and more. This robust search system helps researchers not only to find games but also to create new correlations among historical types of mobile games.
The RMGP serves as a valuable resource for studying the history and impact of mobile games over several decades. It provides insights into the evolution of mobile gaming technology, design principles, and cultural significance.
